About this tour
Spend seven hours exploring Hunter Valley's wine country with a local guide who knows the region intimately. This private tour takes you through carefully selected wineries around Pokolbin, stopping at producers that don't always make the mainstream circuits. Your guide's deep roots in the area mean you'll discover genuine winemaking operations and learn what makes each cellar door worth visiting. Bottled water and gratuities are covered; bring your own lunch or plan to eat at one of the vineyard restaurants.

What to expect
Your guide will drive you to three or four wineries across the Pokolbin area, tailoring the itinerary based on what's open and what interests you. Expect to spend 45 minutes to an hour at each stop—enough time to chat with winemakers, taste a few wines, and browse their range without feeling rushed. Between venues, you'll chat with someone who's spent years in the valley and can point out landmarks and local history as you drive. The pace is relaxed; this isn't a race through as many tasting rooms as possible.
Good to know
Lunch isn't provided, so either pack a picnic or let your guide know you'd like to eat at a winery restaurant (you'll pay separately). Prams and strollers work fine; service animals welcome. The seven-hour duration includes all driving time, so plan accordingly.
